Google AdSense Payment in one day? Good news for Malaysian

When i first received an email from Inside Adsense about the new payment method via Western Union from Google Adsense, I was rather in doubt!! So far all the adsense checks that I received have just been dumped into the closest Maybank Check Deposit Machine.

And yes… for those of you who have been doing a similiar thing, the flow of events happened like this

25 Jan : Google Adsense issues check

8 Feb : We receive the Adsense Check in Malaysia via mail

9 Feb : Drop the Check in Maybank Check Deposit Machine

6 Mar : The USD is converted into Ringgit and deposited into my account

Yeah it normally takes more than one and half months to get our money processed and converted from USD to Ringgit!! That is way tooooo long!!

So when i read that we now have a chance to speed up the entire exchange and conversion process, wah liau… i changed the payment type immediately from check to western union!!

Today, was the first time that we used the Western Union payment from Google Adsense. It was so simple. Unbelivable!!

25 Jan : Google Adsense Payment is paid

The next day … just drop to one of our local Malaysian bank that has Western Union and just fill up the Bank’s Western Union form and you will get your money immediately.

I actually forgot that the payment came in on the 25th, so I only went to the Bank today. Since i was at the KLCC area, i popped over to the RHB Bank at Suria KLCC.

Before going out to the bank, i clicked on the Google Adsense Payment History and printed out the current month’s payment details.

Then at RHB, i just filled up the Western Union “To Receive Money” Form and handed it to the bank teller together with my IC. And in 10 mins he called me to collect my cash in Ringgit!!! Yes that was it!! So so so simple and guess what?? You don’t need to pay the “check transaction fee” that Maybank always charges!! AND AND …. RHB can collect Bonuslink points too for Western Union cash transfers!! hehe

SO now you must be wondering how do i switch the Google Adsense payment from Check to Western Union??
